(所有座椅均为FULL FLEX设计，可容纳轮椅。)”可知，所有的座位都是FULL FLEX设计，这是专门为了容纳轮椅而设计的，即为了方便残疾人士就座。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章开头的“Home/Concert Tickets/Country/Chris Stapleton (首页/音乐会门票/国家/Chris Stapleton)”（典型的网页导航路径）以及倒数第二段中的“Click on any section to see available seats, or choose ADA from the Section Drop Down Menu. (点击任何部分查看可用座位，或从部分下拉菜单中选择ADA。)”可知，“点击”和“下拉菜单”都是互联网网页的典型特征，因此该文本最有可能出现在网络上。 B For Earl Guynes, a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro was more than just a car—it was a symbol of his youth and dreams. But at 22, with two little ones at home, Earl made a selfless decision to sell his beloved Camaro to provide for his family. Over the years, Earl would recall (回想) about the car. “It was blue with white stripes (条纹) down across the hood and down the back, two doors of course. It was the one with a wing window on the side,” he told NBC 5. “I used to tease Jared quite a bit. ‘I used to have a car like that one over there,’ and I said. ‘Yeah, I let it go for diaper (尿布) money. You needed diapers and so that’s what happened to that car,’” he said. But when he mentioned it to his son Jared, the younger Guynes thought his dad was just making up a wild story. Over time, Jared came to understand that his dad’s story was more than just a nostalgic (怀旧的) tale—it was the truth. After a great business year in 2021, Jared experienced on a journey to find the very car his dad had sold decades earlier. After a year-long nationwide search, he located a matching 1967 Camaro just 70 miles away. However, the car needed totally repair. For two years, Jared poured his heart into rebuilding the car in secret. Finally, on Earl’s 65th brthday, Jared arranged an unforgettable presentation with the help of a magician. When the repaired Camaro came into view, Earl was wild with emotion. “I want my dad to know how much I love him, how much he means to me, and how unbelievable he was as a father,” Jared shared. “And the greatest way to do that was to bring back the Camaro. It was always the Camaro.” 4. Why did Earl sell his Camaro? A. To buy a new house. B. To start a business. C. To exchange for another car. D. To support his family. 5. What does the underlined word “tease” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Remind. B. Watch over. C. Joke with. D. Annoy. 6. What did Jared do after he found the matching Camaro? A. He asked a magician to repair it. B. He sold it immediately. C. He showed it to his father directly. D. He spent two years rebuilding it. 7. What is that best title for the text? A. The Return of the Camaro B. A Father’s Love for His Son C. A Son’s Search for His Dream D. The Story of Repairing a Valuable Car 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Earl Guynes年轻时为了家庭卖掉了心爱的雪佛兰Camaro，多年后他的儿子Jared历经艰辛找回并修复了同一款车，作为生日礼物送给父亲，以此表达对父亲的爱与感激。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But at 22, with two little ones at home, Earl made a selfless decision to sell his beloved Camaro to provide for his family. (但在22岁时，家里有两个小孩，Earl做出了一个无私的决定，卖掉他心爱的Camaro来养家糊口)”可知，Earl卖掉Camaro是为了养家。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段““I used to tease Jared quite a bit. ‘I used to have a car like that one over there,’ and I said. ‘Yeah, I let it go for diaper (尿布) money. You needed diapers and so that’s what happened to that car,’” he said. (他说：“我过去常常跟贾里德tease。‘我以前有一辆车，就像那边那辆一样，’我说，‘是啊，我为了赚买尿布的钱把它卖了。你当时需要尿布，所以那辆车就落得那样的下场了。’”)”可知，Earl总是和Jared说自己曾有一辆那样的车，然后还说因为Jared需要尿布所以把车卖了，这是一种类似开玩笑的表达，所以“tease”与“Joke with”意思相近，在这里是“开玩笑”的意思。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“After a year-long nationwide search, he located a matching 1967 Camaro just 70 miles away. However, the car needed totally repair. (经过一年的全国搜索，他在70英里外找到了一辆匹配的1967年Camaro。然而，这辆车需要彻底修理)”和第五段“For two years, Jared poured his heart into rebuilding the car in secret. (两年来，Jared全身心地秘密重建这辆车)”可知，Jared找到匹配的Camaro后，花了两年时间重建它。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“For Earl Guynes, a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro was more than just a car—it was a symbol of his youth and dreams. But at 22, with two little ones at home, Earl made a selfless decision to sell his beloved Camaro to provide for his family. (对厄尔・盖恩斯而言，1967年款的雪佛兰科迈罗绝不仅仅是一辆车——它是他青春与梦想的象征。然而，22岁的厄尔家中已有两个年幼的孩子，他做出了一个无私的决定：卖掉自己心爱的科迈罗，以养家糊口)”以及全文内容可知，文章开头讲述Earl为了养家卖掉了心爱的Camaro，多年后儿子Jared寻找并修复了这辆车，在父亲生日时送回，全文围绕这辆Camaro的流失与回归展开以及它承载的父子情感，因此，A选项“Camaro的回归”总领全文，最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 C Bacteria know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d prefer to settle though, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious (营养的) food pieces, is packed of tiny life. Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds importance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such plenty of diverse structures that everyone reaches a state of satisfaction. However, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about? In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1-2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and reproduce. And there’s evidence this is the case. 8. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B. Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment. C. Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D. Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance. 9. What did Lingchong You find in his study? A. What encourages bacterial growth. B. How sponges are exactly structured. C. How bacteria grow independently. D. Why bacteria keep company with each other. 10. What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges? A. Poorly adaptive. B. Relatively harmless. C. Seriously risky. D. Surprisingly unpleasant. 11. What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A. Evidence of bacterial threat. B. The classification of bacteria. C. Methods to help bacterial growth. D. Research into applications of bacteria. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了细菌最爱寄居温暖潮湿、残留食物的厨房海绵。研究表明海绵孔洞结构利于菌群繁衍，但多数海绵细菌无害。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Ask most of them where they’d prefer to settle though, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious (营养的) food pieces, is packed of tiny life.(但如果你问它们大多数人更愿意在哪里安家，那么厨房海绵可能会排在首位。是的，原来我们用来洗碗的工具，那温暖、潮湿且充满营养食物残渣的东西，里面竟藏着无数微小的生命)”可知，厨房的海绵是细菌滋生的好地方。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth.(他发现，具有不同大小孔洞的海绵对于促进细菌生长确实非常重要)”可知，Lingchong You在研究中发现不同大小孔洞的海绵能促进细菌的生长。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.(海绵上的绝大多数细菌不会引起疾病，它们只会让海绵发臭)”可知，Quinlan认为海绵上的细菌相对无害。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and reproduce. And there’s evidence this is the case.(如果危险的细菌意外出现在现场，海绵特殊的结构使其成为它们生长和繁殖的理想场所。而且已有证据表明，这种情况确实存在)”可知，接下来一段可能会讨论危险细菌带来威胁的证据。 D Historically, festivals were closely connected to religious, agricultural, or cultural practices. Whether it was the lighting of lamps during Diwali in India, the grand parades of Carnival in Brazil, or the quiet reflection of Thanksgiving in the United States, festivals were characterized by face-to-face gatherings, shared meals, and participation (参与). Festivals brought communities together, developing a sense of belonging and shared identity. They were often a time for families and friends to become closer. With the rise of the Internet and digital technologies, the way people celebrated festivals began to change. One of the most significant changes has been the switch from face-to-face gatherings to virtual ones. Social media platforms (平台) like Facebook, Zoom, and Instagram have become popular places for hosting virtual festival celebrations, allowing people to connect with loved ones across the globe at the same time. Social media has not only changed how we celebrate but also how we share our celebrations. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok have turned festivals into global events, where new ideas can spread fast and people from different cultures often connect with each other. Social media has also introduced interactive (互动的) elements to festivals. Virtual challenges, such as decorating competitions or dance battles, inspire users and make a culture where everyone can take part around the celebration. Interestingly, while digital platforms have introduced new ways of celebrating, they have also played a key role in preserving and reviving traditional practices. Online teachers, virtual workshops, and cultural apps have made it easier for younger generations to learn about and participate in traditional practices. Despite the many benefits, the digitalization of festivals has its challenges. The change to virtual celebrations can sometimes lead to a loss of the personal touch and emotional connection that face-to-face gatherings provide. What’s more, the commercialization of festivals through online platforms has raised concerns about the weakening of cultural and religious significance. As we move forward, it is necessary to balance the convenience of digital celebrations and the richness of traditional practices, ensuring that festivals continue to be meaningful, welcoming, and joyous occasions for all. 12. What does the author imply about traditional festivals? A. They lacked education value. B. They served many social functions. C. They were limited to religious purposes. D. They required modern technology support. 13. How does the author view virtual celebrations? A. They are entirely beneficial. B. They are totally unacceptable. C. They are culturally meaningless. D. They have both good and bad effects. 14. How have digital platforms helped preserve traditional practices? A. By hosting virtual dance competitions. B. By enabling young people to learn traditions easily. C. By commercializing festivals through online platforms. D. By replacing face-to-face festival gatherings. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Traditional festivals are gradually disappearing. B. Online commercialization is destroying festival culture. C. Online celebrations have completely replaced traditional festivals. D. Digital technology has greatly reshaped festival celebrations. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了互联网和数字技术的发展改变了节日庆祝的方式，还在保护和复兴传统习俗方面发挥重要作用，但节日数字化也带来挑战，需要平衡数字庆祝与传统习俗。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Festivals brought communities together, developing a sense of belonging and shared identity. They were often a time for families and friends to become closer. (节日将社群凝聚在一起，培养归属感和共同身份认同感。节日也是家人朋友拉近关系的契机。)”可知，传统节日可以凝聚社群、培养身份认同、拉近人际关系，由此可推测出，节日具有多种社会功能。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Despite the many benefits, the digitalization of festivals has its challenges. (尽管有诸多优势，节日数字化也存在挑战。)”可知，作者认为线上虚拟庆祝既有优点也存在不足。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Online teachers, virtual workshops, and cultural apps have made it easier for younger generations to learn about and participate in traditional practices. (在线讲师、虚拟研讨会和文化应用让年轻一代更容易了解并参与传统习俗。)”可知，数字平台帮助保护传统习俗的方式是让年轻人更便捷地学习传统。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“With the rise of the Internet and digital technologies, the way people celebrated festivals began to change. (随着互联网和数字技术的兴起，人们庆祝节日的方式开始发生变化。)”并结合全文内容可知，本文介绍了随着数字技术发展，节日庆祝发生的变化，节日数字化对保护传统习俗的作用，同时也指出了节日数字化存在的挑战，最后提出需要平衡数字庆祝和传统习俗，全文围绕数字技术极大改变了节日庆祝方式展开。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Grocery shopping is something everyone has to do.

It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get the money was to break the piggy hank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea. And he added. “The piggy bank would help save your money so that, at the end of the year, you might have enough for that bike you dreamed about.” He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised sincerely, “I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike.” Whenever my grandfather gave me some pocket money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clear for me to save the extra money in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy hank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it. Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful presents. I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about buying those things went away. So for almost three years. I had only put money into the piggy hank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy hank for anything. Bat one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces. I was sleepless that night. Staring at my piggy bank. I was thinking about what I could do with it. 注意： 1．续写词数应为50左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning.

This is years of my savings,” I said to myself. I was about to break it and withdraw money when my mina came back to the bike I wanted to buy, and I hesitated. However, thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, the piggy bank broke into pieces and the coins rolled all over the floor. Hearing the noise, my grandfather came over. I explained to him what had happened. Having known my thought, he fondly touched my head and said, “Good boy, you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you.” He continued, “My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let’s buy that bike together now.” “Thank you, Grandpa,” I was overwhelmed with happiness. From that day on, you would always see me riding my bike on the street, leaving my hearty laughter behind. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了爷爷送作者一个存钱罐，作者努力存钱，想要买自己心仪的自行车。当看到临近省份发生了地震的电视新闻后，作者决定把钱捐给地震灾区的孩子们的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，我拿出我的存钱罐，摇了摇。”可知，第一段可描写作者的最终决定，打破存钱罐，把钱捐给地震灾区的孩子们。 ②由第二段首句内容“听到噪音，我爷爷走了过来。”可知，第二段可描写了解了事情的经过后，爷爷的反应。 2.续写线索：犹豫——决定——解释——支持——奖励 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回来：come back to/return to ②.犹豫：hesitate/ hang back 情绪类 ①.以……为骄傲：be proud of/take pride in ②.幸福：happiness/blessedness 【点睛】[高分句型1].

But at 22, with two little ones at home, Earl made a selfless decision to sell his beloved Camaro to provide for his family. Over the years, Earl would recall (回想) about the car. “It was blue with white stripes (条纹) down across the hood and down the back, two doors of course. It was the one with a wing window on the side,” he told NBC 5. “I used to tease Jared quite a bit. ‘I used to have a car like that one over there,’ and I said. ‘Yeah, I let it go for diaper (尿布) money. You needed diapers and so that’s what happened to that car,’” he said. But when he mentioned it to his son Jared, the younger Guynes thought his dad was just making up a wild story. Over time, Jared came to understand that his dad’s story was more than just a nostalgic (怀旧的) tale—it was the truth. After a great business year in 2021, Jared experienced on a journey to find the very car his dad had sold decades earlier. After a year-long nationwide search, he located a matching 1967 Camaro just 70 miles away. However, the car needed totally repair. For two years, Jared poured his heart into rebuilding the car in secret. Finally, on Earl’s 65th brthday, Jared arranged an unforgettable presentation with the help of a magician. When the repaired Camaro came into view, Earl was wild with emotion. “I want my dad to know how much I love him, how much he means to me, and how unbelievable he was as a father,” Jared shared. “And the greatest way to do that was to bring back the Camaro. It was always the Camaro.” 4. Why did Earl sell his Camaro? A. To buy a new house. B. To start a business. C. To exchange for another car. D. To support his family. 5. What does the underlined word “tease” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Remind. B. Watch over. C. Joke with. D. Annoy. 6. What did Jared do after he found the matching Camaro? A. He asked a magician to repair it. B. He sold it immediately. C. He showed it to his father directly. D. He spent two years rebuilding it. 7. What is that best title for the text? A. The Return of the Camaro B. A Father’s Love for His Son C. A Son’s Search for His Dream D. The Story of Repairing a Valuable Car C Bacteria know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d prefer to settle though, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious (营养的) food pieces, is packed of tiny life. Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds importance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such plenty of diverse structures that everyone reaches a state of satisfaction. However, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about? In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1-2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and reproduce. And there’s evidence this is the case. 8. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B. Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment. C. Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D. Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance. 9. What did Lingchong You find in his study? A. What encourages bacterial growth. B. How sponges are exactly structured. C. How bacteria grow independently. D. Why bacteria keep company with each other. 10. What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges? A. Poorly adaptive. B. Relatively harmless. C. Seriously risky. D. Surprisingly unpleasant. 11. What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A. Evidence of bacterial threat. B. The classification of bacteria. C. Methods to help bacterial growth. D. Research into applications of bacteria. D Historically, festivals were closely connected to religious, agricultural, or cultural practices. Whether it was the lighting of lamps during Diwali in India, the grand parades of Carnival in Brazil, or the quiet reflection of Thanksgiving in the United States, festivals were characterized by face-to-face gatherings, shared meals, and participation (参与). Festivals brought communities together, developing a sense of belonging and shared identity. They were often a time for families and friends to become closer. With the rise of the Internet and digital technologies, the way people celebrated festivals began to change. One of the most significant changes has been the switch from face-to-face gatherings to virtual ones. Social media platforms (平台) like Facebook, Zoom, and Instagram have become popular places for hosting virtual festival celebrations, allowing people to connect with loved ones across the globe at the same time. Social media has not only changed how we celebrate but also how we share our celebrations. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok have turned festivals into global events, where new ideas can spread fast and people from different cultures often connect with each other. Social media has also introduced interactive (互动的) elements to festivals. Virtual challenges, such as decorating competitions or dance battles, inspire users and make a culture where everyone can take part around the celebration. Interestingly, while digital platforms have introduced new ways of celebrating, they have also played a key role in preserving and reviving traditional practices. Online teachers, virtual workshops, and cultural apps have made it easier for younger generations to learn about and participate in traditional practices. Despite the many benefits, the digitalization of festivals has its challenges. The change to virtual celebrations can sometimes lead to a loss of the personal touch and emotional connection that face-to-face gatherings provide. What’s more, the commercialization of festivals through online platforms has raised concerns about the weakening of cultural and religious significance. As we move forward, it is necessary to balance the convenience of digital celebrations and the richness of traditional practices, ensuring that festivals continue to be meaningful, welcoming, and joyous occasions for all. 12. What does the author imply about traditional festivals? A. They lacked education value. B. They served many social functions. C. They were limited to religious purposes. D. They required modern technology support. 13. How does the author view virtual celebrations? A. They are entirely beneficial. B. They are totally unacceptable. C. They are culturally meaningless. D. They have both good and bad effects. 14. How have digital platforms helped preserve traditional practices? A. By hosting virtual dance competitions. B. By enabling young people to learn traditions easily. C. By commercializing festivals through online platforms. D. By replacing face-to-face festival gatherings. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Traditional festivals are gradually disappearing. B. Online commercialization is destroying festival culture. C. Online celebrations have completely replaced traditional festivals. D.

It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get the money was to break the piggy hank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea. And he added. “The piggy bank would help save your money so that, at the end of the year, you might have enough for that bike you dreamed about.” He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised sincerely, “I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike.” Whenever my grandfather gave me some pocket money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clear for me to save the extra money in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy hank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it. Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful presents. I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about buying those things went away. So for almost three years. I had only put money into the piggy hank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy hank for anything. Bat one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces. I was sleepless that night. Staring at my piggy bank. I was thinking about what I could do with it. 注意： 1．续写词数应为50左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning. I took out my piggy bank and shook it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing the noise. my grandfather came over. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
